You should at least try my way of having fun you will like how much you can tank. btw for lvl 53, you should beable to find 2 weapons on the ah of my description for less than 25k each

My response was tongue-in-cheek, arad. I did read your methods and I do try difference things especially things recommended here on TPU.

No AH for me. Finding my own stuff is a huge part of what makes the game fun for me, even if it means slower progress and more deaths while hunting.
All the items I find in game that I save, I give to other players, not even my alts.

I agree with xenocide, your damage is too low. I have 56 lvl monk and has almost 6k dmg. Other stats looks like ok. U can find cheap weapons on AH. I buyed my weapon for 5k.

And why you use exp gem on your head?

Doubt it has anything to do with his weapon, I'm not sure on Monk abilities, but he is running 100% tank, I don't think he is running any DPS passives or anything. I usually run with him on my Wiz and last night it was him and 3 Wiz, so he stands there and takes it as we nuke it down, the number he puts out are less important than the fact that he can stand there and take the abuse. But thats his alt, as the wizz is mine, we have been AHing the whole time while leveling, so I'm pretty sure his gear is decently top notch, so thats why I assume it's a passive/skills thing, he's probably just running more of a tank build than most are as he doesn't need to be solo viable.

And we are all using xp gems in our helms, simply because they are alts, be just been blowing through the levels, last week we made these characters and went from 1 to 45 in 2 days

Yep i know my damage is low. wearing level 51 gear across the board. paid maybe 55k for all that gear. just milking it until i hit 60 then im dropping my entire load on gear. my spec is pure survive ability, 3 of my skills are heals another is the vortex to pull everything to me and a wind ally to keep my spirit up. im solely specced for tanking and being able to keep things clumped up so dps can burn it all down. i solo killed a skeleton yellow named with 3 adds and arcane enchanted. the dps just couldnt fight in the confined spaces so i just burned it down. took a minute or two but saved repair bills for buddies.. half the time it comes to me tanking 12 adds while my buddies repair and clean out their bags. i like playing diablo quite differently then the rest, use my abilities to just take the hits while my friends burn, i run the damage montra from time to time but its no necessarily needed

and yes this is my alt.. my DH has 52k damage and almost 20k damage without the crit buff

Shoot while running away, if you can't kill them all before you end up back at the entrance of the dungeon especially with those messed up elites, restart away

If youre playing Inferno, Defense is the key, While lower difficulties allowed you to primarily focus on outputting as much DPS as possible, Inferno is different, it requires a bit more caution. DPS is still important, but make sure you still have some defensive capabilites.

I was having trouble on Inferno myself because I was focusing too much on the Damage, I changed my items and build to a more defensive one and balance it with my DPS.
